This week I'm joined by my good friend Chenell Basilio, creator of Growth in Reverse and one of the most thorough newsletter analysts in the space. We spent over an hour diving deep into what's really working in email right now — from the death of newsletter hype to the opportunity hiding in recommendation networks. Chenell shared her framework of "insanely valuable content" (the one thing that matters more than any growth hack), and we got surprisingly honest about using AI to create short-form content from our long-form work. We also tackled the big question: how do you grow an email list if you refuse to use social media? Turns out there are more options than you think — from public homework challenges to old-school guest posting making a comeback. Plus, I introduced a new segment called "Unhinged Questions" where we played kiss, marry, kill with email platforms.

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Reaching 250,000 miles on a vehicle isn't luck—it's leadership. In this episode, we explore what long-term vehicle maintenance really looks like and why today's shops must rethink how they communicate with customers. Too often, maintenance is treated as a series of isolated repairs. This conversation reframes it as a strategic process built on education, transparency, planning, and advocacy. In this episode, you'll discover how to: Shift your shop culture from reactive repairs to proactive planningPosition service advisors as educators and advocatesUse cost-per-mile analysis to demonstrate real vehicle valueBuild trust through professional language and clear expectationsAlign inspections with long-term ownership goalsImprove maintenance acceptance without fear-based sellingCreate systems that support consistent follow-up Key Discussion Topics Why 250,000-mile vehicles are built through strategy, not chanceThe difference between transactional service and advisory leadershipUsing documentation and trends to guide decisionsStructuring pay plans to reinforce professionalismTurning maintenance into a long-term relationship Why This Episode Matters When customers understand that their vehicle can realistically reach 250,000 miles with the right care, everything changes. Trust improves. Approvals become easier. Loyalty deepens. And your shop evolves from a repair facility into a long-term partner in vehicle ownership. This episode shows how sophisticated professionalism, consistent processes, and education-first communication can transform both customer relationships and business performance.

What if the key to better decisions isn't just willpower—it's how we support our daily performance? I just interviewed James Schmachtenberger, co-founder of Neurohacker Collective and creator of Qualia, who went from severe adrenal failure at 21 to pioneering a new approach to human optimization. After a life-changing experimental IV therapy in Mexico transformed his brain function, James asked himself a powerful question: 'Could we make cutting-edge cognitive enhancement accessible to everyone—not just those who can afford $250K/year in precision medicine?' The answer led to a complete reimagining of supplement science, using complex systems modeling rather than the standard "one problem, one pill" approach. James found that when he started exploring nootropics during his burnout period, they helped give him the foundation to start making better choices in exercise, nutrition, and other areas of life—creating powerful compounding effects. If you've ever felt like you're capable of more but can't consistently access that potential, this conversation will give you a completely new framework The show notes, including the transcript and checklist to this episode, are at getyourselfoptimized.com/550.

Ryan Gorman: How He Built £250k in Fees Without Making a Single Cold CallRyan Gorman launched Lofthouse Group in January 2021 with a newborn daughter at home.His wife asked him one question: "What sort of person do you want Isla seeing? Do you want her growing up seeing work as something you love, or just something you do to earn money?"Year one, solo, working part-time around his newborn: £93k invoiced. £60k profit. Home for every bath time."Everything has been warm. I've never had to sit down and just cold-call tons of people."While other recruiters smashed the phones, Ryan built a podcast as a BD tool. Used LinkedIn to warm every approach. And went to Instagram to find architects who weren't even on LinkedIn.Four years later? £250k in fees. Average placement of £12k (market average is £7.5k). 85% repeat business. 70% net profit.This week on The RAG Podcast, Ryan tells the full story.We cover:Why he left tech recruitment to go back to architectureThe question his wife asked that gave him the push to startHow he used Instagram to find candidates not on LinkedInWhy he's never made a cold call and still bills £250kHiring his first employee after four years soloHow his first hire billed £50k in two and a half monthsHis plan to become number one in architecture recruitmentIf you've ever wondered whether you can build a profitable recruitment business without grinding the phones, this episode is for you.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: Remote RecruitmentHiring shouldn't be slow, stressful, or expensive.

The $250,000 Asset Sitting in Your Clinic Right Now Most clinic owners work nonstop to bring in new patients while completely ignoring the most valuable asset they already have. Their past patients. In this episode of the PT Entrepreneur Podcast, Danny explains how past clients can quietly represent hundreds of thousands of dollars in recurring revenue and why most clinics never tap into it. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why recurring revenue is the most valuable dollar in your clinic How past patients can generate predictable, stable income The math behind a $250,000 recurring revenue opportunity How one clinic built a six-figure program without ads What to offer past patients so they actually come back Why Past Patients Are Your Hidden Asset Most clinics have seen hundreds or even thousands of patients over the years. Many of those patients had great outcomes, trust the providers, and would happily return if given the right reason. Yet most clinics never follow up unless someone gets injured again. The Power of Recurring Revenue Recurring revenue creates stability. It allows owners to plan staffing, manage overhead, and grow without constant stress. Unlike the referral-eval-discharge model pushed by insurance, cash-based clinics can design ongoing services that fit patient needs and provider strengths. A Real-World Example Danny shares how one clinic launched a small group training and movement program by reaching out only to past patients. The first cohort filled immediately. A second group followed shortly after. No ads. No cold outreach. That single program now generates between $200,000 and $250,000 in gross revenue for one clinic, with members staying an average of nearly three years. Why This Works Past patients already trust you They know your quality of care You understand their history and goals They are far easier to re-engage than new leads What You Can Offer Recurring services do not have to be complex. They might include: Small group training or movement classes Monthly check-ins or tune-ups Ongoing strength, mobility, or longevity programs Remote coaching or programming The key is matching what you are good at with what your patients actually want. Create the Time to Think Strategically Many owners never build these programs because they are buried in documentation and admin work. Claire helps remove that burden so you can focus on patients and business growth. Try Claire free for 7 days Next Steps Review your past patient list Identify patients who had strong outcomes Test one simple recurring offer Start with direct outreach before ads If you are working toward going full time in your own practice, PT Biz offers a free Part Time to Full Time 5-Day Challenge.

What if hearing God speak to you in the last row of a church saved you from losing everything? In this episode, James Brown shares how he helps professional service business owners scale their businesses without sacrificing their lives through Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. After launching his first business in 1994 and rapidly expanding to $8M in annual revenue, James transitioned to coaching in 2014 and has now guided over 450 business owners to significant growth. He launched Small Law Firm University, growing it to $3 million in revenue within a year, and developed a CMO program generating an additional $2 million annually. James holds a Business degree from Lindenwood University (1989) and JD from St. Louis University (1993). In 2009, he was selected as one of America's Top 20 Premier Experts and featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and Newsweek. James believes all businesses have the same seven working parts, and the only difference is what they sell. James reveals three relationships that transformed him: his wife Sherry, whom he's known since age three when they met in her mom's beauty salon, who believed in him when everyone else said he couldn't achieve his dreams and stood by him through 41 years including his darkest moments; his mentor Darrell Castle, a Memphis-based lawyer who taught him to reject the "cookie cutter" approach and build a business on his own terms, showing him that all businesses share seven working parts regardless of what they sell; and God, whom he encountered in March 2015 after hitting rock bottom (drinking excessively, making terrible choices, nearly losing everything) when a random stranger invited him to church where he heard God speak to him in the last row as the only white person in an all-Black congregation, completely transforming his perspective and leading him to sell his law firm to help other business owners build lives of purpose.   [00:04:20] What James Does at Business Accelerator Institute Helps owners of professional service businesses scale predictably and profitably Focuses on building businesses that serve owners, not the other way around Has helped over 450 business owners achieve this transformation [00:05:20] The Defining Moment with His Wife Second year in business, struggling financially, client asked for refund Wife said: "At the end of the day, you do what's right and everything else will follow" That statement still resonates 30 years later and drives his mission to help more people [00:07:20] How Clients Find Him Primarily word of mouth and brand touches through Interview Valet (on 40 podcasts this year) Results speak for themselves without traditional marketing Recent client: 69-year-old Alabama lawyer practicing 50 years, never broke $500K, just hit $1M this year [00:11:00] The Unorthodox Path to Success Known wife Sherry since age three, met in her mom's beauty salon Parents married at 16, kicked James out at 19 when he announced marriage Told his whole childhood he was "too heavy" to do things, couldn't play sports Made varsity football first year as junior, played four years (nobody in family graduated college) [00:12:40] Working His Way Through Law School Got job at General Motors assembly line, 6 AM to 2:30 PM, went to school 4 PM to 11 PM for 10 years Right before graduating law school, GM announced plant closure Sent out 300 resumes, got zero responses with three kids (ages 5, 2, and 1) Forced to start business by necessity, not by choice [00:14:00] Meeting Mentor Darrell Castle Lawyers conditioned that marketing is "beneath them" Darrell taught him to look at business differently, be different Showed him all businesses have same seven working parts (only difference is what they sell) Set up business around not working past 4:30 PM from day one [00:15:40] Building the $8M Law Practice First rule: Business open till 7 PM and Saturdays, but James wasn't there Hired people and built systems so business ran without him Grew to $8 million annually with offices in four different states [00:16:40] The Dark Years: Getting Too Big for His Britches Started making bad choices despite success (never drank until his 40s) First drink was Irish car bomb followed by 10 kamikaze shots Started spending money on wrong things, went to strip clubs, cheated on wife Wife and him separated, she went on cruise with daughter [00:18:20] The Divine Encounter That Changed Everything March 2015: Drunk at wine bar, random stranger invited him to church next morning Went to that church by himself Sunday morning, sat in last row Only white person in all-Black church, heard God speak to him Never saw that stranger again (believes he was an angel) [00:19:40] The Wake-Up Call Wife told him: "God gives you hints, and if you don't listen, at some point He's going to slap you across the face" Nearly lost everything (wife, business, all going downhill) That March 2015 moment was most influential person: God Decided to sell law firm and start helping other business owners [00:20:20] The Leap of Faith Worked for another company making $330,000 a year coaching business owners 2018: At conference in Jacksonville, told them he was leaving, called wife from airport Goal: Get nine private clients in 60 days to replace income (took nine days) First year did just under $1 million in business [00:22:40] The Catalyst Moments After coaching calls, often sits there thinking "who was that guy?" Works with business owners from $250K to $100M annually Stopped questioning who he is to coach $100M business owners Been blessed with certain gifts and has faith they will continue [00:24:00] The Lesson of Not Labeling Setbacks Example: Payroll in two days is $15K, only $1K in operating account Freaking out keeps you from being creative and finding solutions Takes everything as exactly as it's meant to be and learns from it [00:27:40] The Live Event Revelation $10M, $50M, $100M business owners at tables with under-$500K owners Big business owners worried they wouldn't learn from "smaller" ones $50M and $100M owners took just as many notes (smaller businesses still nimble and innovative) Realized everyone can gain something from each other regardless of revenue size [00:30:00] When Is Enough, Enough? Just turned 60, my wife asked "when is enough, enough?" The Mastermind member asked: "What's your goal?" Answer: "To help people" "How many people on the planet? Are you ever gonna run out of people to help?" Never gonna run out (also volunteers through Red Cross deploying to disasters) [00:32:00] Building Business Accelerator Institute Can only work with so many people one-on-one before hitting bandwidth Goal: Give business owners Harvard-level business degree without Harvard-level dollars Over 55 four-week courses addressing all seven parts of business $249/month, includes two-hour open office hours every Wednesday [00:35:00] Final Wisdom: You're the Average of the Five Don't pay attention to what other people say, surround yourself with people who inspire you "You're the average of the five people you hang out with the most—and it's true" Example: Son played goalie since age 5, adapted performance to level of teammates around him Hang around like-minded individuals who inspire you to go where you want to go   KEY QUOTES "At the end of the day, you do what's right and everything else will follow." - Sherry Brown "All businesses have the same seven working parts. Literally the only thing that's different is what we sell. The concept of running a very successful business and scaling it is simple. I'm very intentional with that word. I'm never gonna say it's easy, but the concept is simple." - James Brown CONNECT WITH JAMES BROWN

Two Golden Door winners walk into the studio: one has 11 summers with zero bagels, the other was on track to be a Delta pilot until a color-blindness test blew up his dream. Both went on to stack Golden Doors, build real estate portfolios, and prove that identity + mindset beat raw talent every time.In this Golden Door Podcast episode, Sam sits down with Jake West (5× Golden Door) and McKenzie Golding (2× Golden Door) from Aptive to unpack what actually changes when you go from 250K rev to 700K+ and 1,000+ accounts.You'll hear:- How Jake went from “250 is elite” to 1,000+ account summers- Why McKenzie quit door-to-door, took a 9–5, then came back and nearly tripled his best year - The Clark Kent vs Superman mental framework (who's holding the mic in your head?) - What to do after bageling your first three days so you never bagel again - The “Dr Pepper 23 flavors” of a Golden Door summer (mindset, work ethic, time, skills) - Exactly how they handle slumps, self-doubt, and bad days on the doors - Why filming your pitch and fixing tiny details (like eye contact) can 5× your results - How they use door-to-door to buy real estate and buy back their time If you're stuck at 150–300 accounts or 200–300K in revenue and Golden Door feels “unreasonable,” this conversation gives you the identity, frameworks, and habits that make big numbers inevitable.

Still winging your spa marketing? Creating promotions five days before they launch? Handling everything yourself because "it's easier than explaining it"? That approach might have gotten you to six figures, but it's the exact reason you're stuck there. In this episode, Daniela breaks down the real cost of winging it in your spa business and reveals exactly what strategic, systems-based businesses do differently. From last-minute marketing that leaves money on the table to systems living exclusively in your head, you'll discover where the gaps are and how to fix them. Whether you're doing $20K or $40K per month, this episode will show you how to work smarter instead of harder and why AI adoption isn't optional anymore. In this episode, we discuss:  The three major places winging it shows up in spa businesses (and what it's costing you) Why the approach that got you to $250K won't get you to $500K or beyond How to use custom GPTs to train your team and document your systems The mindset shift required to move from service provider to Spa CEO A five-step action plan to stop winging it and start building strategically Why AI adoption is critical for staying competitive in 2026 and beyond   Keep the conversation going inside the Spa Marketing Made Easy Community by clicking here.

What do you get when you mix hats, social media channels, and a bunch of dads? In this throwback episode, Bart Szaniewski explains how he and his buddies created Dad Gang with the mission of bringing dads together with cool hats.  At first, it was all about creativity. And then it blossomed into multiple channels and multiple dads sharing their stories. Copy and captions became even more important. Hats were being sold faster than they could make them. Everyone wanted one. How do you develop FOMO in your audience? It's as easy as creating a sense of urgency for your next drop.  Plus, Bart reveals how using a private Facebook group may be the key to hearing more from your audience.  And, Dad Gang recently launched an app and is using SMS. What are some pros and cons of implementing these ideas at your brand?  If you're a marketer who wants to learn more about scaling via social media or how SMS and apps can further your brand's presence, this is the episode for you.  Follow Bart: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bart-szaniewski-374b1141/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

In this deeply personal and transformative episode, Beverley Simpson shares the lessons learned from what she describes as the hardest year of her life—2025—and reveals the exact framework she's using in 2026 to achieve everything she wants. Drawing from over 10 years of experience as a former district fitness manager and seven-figure online entrepreneur, Beverley walks you through a three-step process: clearing the past with emotional integrity, setting clear intentions, and executing a data-driven strategy. She emphasizes that mental health and nervous system management are non-negotiable foundations for success, and she challenges you to get ruthlessly honest about what you're truly committed to. This episode is a masterclass in building a sustainable, profitable business while maintaining your integrity and well-being. Whether you're starting fresh or recovering from a difficult year, Beverley's vulnerable insights and actionable framework will help you transform 2026 into your breakthrough year.Key Discussion Points:[0:00-2:00] Beverley opens with a powerful statement about 2025 being the hardest year of her life, both professionally and personally, and introduces the three-step framework that will transform your 2026.[2:00-5:00] You're not behind—a reassuring message about January timing. The gym industry data shows February and March are the busiest months, so starting your journey now is perfectly aligned with natural cycles.[5:00-12:00] Step One: Clear 2025 and the Past — The critical importance of clearing emotional charges from previous years.

She shares how she realized she was "bending, not breaking."[35:00-45:00] The importance of celebrating wins and not dismissing them as false humility.
